Podz = Make MORE

1 pod = 750mL to 1L of cleaning solution

Tabs = Make LESS

1 tablet = 600mL of cleaning solution

Podz = Powerful Cleaner

The pod's active ingredients (emulsifiers, surfactants, degreasers) make up 100% of the pod

• Dissolves Fast
• Powerful
• Used By Professionals

Tabs = DIY Cleaner

Only 3/13 of a well-known tablet’s ingredients are active. The rest (10/13) makes sure the tablet doesn't crumble & dissolves in H20

• Dissolves Slower
• Watery
• Weak

Podz = Green Seal Certified

Our cleaners are certified to be non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, 100% biodegradable, cruelty-free & safe for aquatic life

• Planet-Friendly Chemical Solutions
• Plastic-Free Packaging
• Performance Certified

Tabs = NOT Certified

Tablets have good health & environmental characteristics vs retail cleaners. However, most don’t have what it takes to be Green Seal Certified:

• Foil-Lined Packaging
• Not Performance Certified

Podz = ZERO Plastic

The pods’ casing is made out of Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) which completely dissolves in water

• A recent scientific study proves that PVA does NOT meet the definition of micro-plastics. Read the full report.

Tabs = Foil-Lined Wrappers

Tablets are often packaged in plastic pouches or foil-lined wrappers claiming to be compostable

• There are no CDN Municipal Waste Centres with facilities to compost these materials

Podz = REDUCE, REUSE, REFILL

We’re all about empowering Canadians to REUSE/REFILL their existing empty plastic bottles

• Together, we’ve saved 65K+ plastic bottles from ending up forever in landfill

Tabs = ⬆️ Plastic Bottles

Some tablet companies push EVEN MORE designer plastic bottles to be refilled with their product.

• Designer bottles often leak/break & add to the Planet's landfill problem

Podz = 🇨🇦

The Hope family is Canadian. Just 5 of us. Every day, we head into our parents’ basement to hand-pack your Podz into tiny, recyclable boxes. We avoid factory-packed wrappers because they get diverted to landfill 90% of the time

• CDN$ + HST
• Canada Post Lettermail

Tabs = 🇺🇸 🇨🇳

Tablet companies often ship their 1st orders WITH 3 designer plastic bottles. This REALLY increases carbon footprint. Especially when plastic bottles are made in China, shipped to the US, then exported into Canada (along with the tablets)

• US$ + Duties
• Barge, Plane, Train, Freight
